Toughie. On one hand if they've got a Meth problem you wanna know whatever the trespass necessary. On the other if its a no-no but less dangerous better to keep silent and catch them some other way so that you don't give up your source. But keepin an eye on a kid online is like watching them at the park. Very necessary. Just hope they don't start to place less value on civil liberties when they're older.

I think it is good parenting to snoop. But bad parenting to point out anything you have found unless it is serious. Think of the things you did at that age and what was common and realize that you can not prevent them form making some of the same mistakes. Trying to do so in a forceful manner will only push them more towards those things. If you discuss the things you did you regret and point out why it is not a good idea thats ok. Saying don't do it, especially when they know you did, makes you a hypocrite in their eyes. Don't lie to children, they will find out.

Good parenting these days! I snooped & found out a 43 yr old man was pretending to be 17 to my 14 year old daughter! If I had it to do over i wouldn't allow any internet in my house until the kids are 18! There's too many freaking creeps out there preying on kids & teens

It's both. You have to investigate and see what your kids up to on-line. There are way to many strange things going on. I mean, take a look at the foot fetish guys on this site, you mention "foot rub" once & they're all over you. No offense intended. :)
